Decades ago we got broken into and they took just about everything ( which wasn't much ) including the B & W TV
As we were both working full time & studying part time we decided to leave the telly and get one of them new fang dangle colour ones a bit latter.
Well it was near 15 years latter when we did that and in retrospect we did not miss it .
What did happen is my co-workers kept sniggering behind my back , continually asking about me getting lucy the previous night.
My teachers kept asking how come I was getting assignments in on time & the students could not believe they were getting their homework back the following week & I was in such a good mood.
Finally the penny dropped .
Down here if you do a science degree , you have to do a compulsory single year humanities subject in years 2,3 & 4.
One of those was phyche . and during one of those sessions we were taught that the mind is most receptive to suggestion in an anxious or depressed state .
Thus the media deliberately tries to depress the viewers or make them feel anxious .
Even the comedy shows, depict people we can identify with who always seem to have better jobs, more free time, no financial problems, bigger better houses or cars & significantly better personnal relationships ..
Thus the TV rarely gets turned on and one died because the lack of use allowed corrosion to happen on the contacts .
A good friends wife, who has a PhD in vet science always uses the line "Too much TV can necrotize your cerebral tissue " when people start to discuss TV shows at work .
Or as a passenger in my taxi once said at 3am on a rainy night "why sit at home & watch some one elses perversion of life when you can go out & have one for yourself "
As for people dieing
Remember there was this thing called the post war baby boom
Well the boomers are all past their use by date so there must be a corresponding baby boomers dieing peak.
Thus we see a lot of the entertainers, educators or even celebrities of our youth dieing on a daily basis
